If yes, is there any security options available?3Furnace help2017-10-24T15:54:08Znightwolf20013http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/4322/scope/postsI have a question. I have a 1998 Fleetwood Bounder with a Suburban furnace SF model. I have fixed the grounding block, taped up the spark unit that's on the circuit board, and cleaned up all of the connections. The thing works great during the day, unless it's cold out, and then I have the same problem, but at night, like every other time it kicks on, it will not light and blow cold. I turn it off and back on and it lights and blows warm. I can't understand why it doesn't work and then works again 2 minutes later. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.0Transfer Case Fluid Change – Jeep Wrangler JK toad 2017-06-11T18:00:40Zsillsmackhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/4243/scope/postsFriends,

0TPMS for RVs2017-06-06T04:33:28Zhazwanhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/4241/scope/postsHi,
I would really love to recommend you guys here to try out Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) from this company. It's called FOBO and I have tried one, they have various type of TPMS to fit in to our vehicle.
This is something that could add value to ourselves. Maintaining tire pressure for our system added cost benefit to us. I think most of us acknowledge that low tire pressure can cause uneven tire wear, serious damage, uneconomic fuel consumption and bad emission.
Of all that matters, this device only help us to monitor and alert us in the event of low or high tire pressure and not automatically to prevent all kind of accidents, damage and losses. TPMS assure us to drive with safe tire condition.
Cheers !

0Coachman Waterworks Board Utilities Panel - HELP2017-04-04T15:23:17Zdeneenanddavidhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/4214/scope/postsMy husband and I bought a used 2009 Coachman Dream-catcher. The water manifold was busted - so we ordered a new one. Husband used old one to put all piping where it belongs. Unfortunately he did not mark where the 3 (I think) hoses connect to. He has everything back together but we can not get fresh water tank to fill so he assumes that he has it hooked up wrong. Does anyone have a Coachman with this type water control panel that could remove panel and take a picture of connections and emai to me so that we can get it put back together correctly? I have searched the web - no help.0Black water gauge not working properly2014-09-09T00:32:08ZCampingWifehttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/3690/scope/postsWe have a class c forest river Forrester.

I use solar panels for charging my batteries. Unfortunately, when I went over to uncover it (I need to re register it), the battery levels were very low. Apparently, the solar panels weren't able to charge the batteries because it was covered. Do any of you know of a way on how to protect your motorhome against the snow and still be able to get the solar panels to charge the batteries?5Laminate Floor Installation2014-03-12T22:58:00Zpipercaseyhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/3614/scope/postsI am going to install a thinner laminate floor. 5' by 48' panels.

4How To Clean Your RV- Check Out The Best Ways 2016-02-05T05:56:20ZJinpakhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/3940/scope/postsWhen you go out for RV camping Los Angeles, there are numerous reasons to clean the RV with a decent reference of appropriate as well as reasonable ways in order to keep their vehicles clean. As you all know very well that it is quite hard to get your camping vehicle cleaned, almost everywhere in the country & in the campgrounds, especially. Those days are gone when you could pull into the campground & hook up the hose to their water system, therefore, wash your RV to your heart's content is quite much a thing of the past. Currently, the typical campground allows to fill a bucket with water & clean the dirt & bugs from the front of your vehicle and this is pretty much in it.
There are so many RV owners who use the products & services that are aimed at allowing you to clean the Motor-home in some interesting ways.

Hagens Berman is investigating Norcold and Dometic for these companies' defective gas-absorption refrigerators that can explode or catch fire. The defective refrigerators have been installed in thousands of motorhomes, trailers, fifth-wheels and pop-ups, as well as boats. We believe Dometic and Norcold should be held responsible for this public safety hazard.
The defective refrigerators jeopardize the safety of RV and boat owners and damage property. Norcold and Dometic's gas-absorption fridges contain a cooling unit with a steel boiler tube that can crack, allowing highly flammable gases – including hydrogen gas – to escape. Experts discovered that a seam in the tube corrodes relatively rapidly even as the rest of the metal appears in good condition.

I want your help people. Please, give some tips about changing all current lamps to LED.
I have a travel trailer. We often use it with my family. I want to upgrade it somehow and start with the light.
I understand that it is pricy, but maybe there will be some discounts or sales before Christmas.
3Which tire brand?2013-04-03T02:21:50ZTShislerhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/3415/scope/postsI'm scheduled to replace 4 of my tires this spring. I've been looking at either getting a Yokohama 295/80R-22.5 or a Hankook 315/80R-22.5. The prices aren't really that far apart from each other. The Yokohamas are for $2891 while the Hankook go for $3007. My question is which one will have a better performance and last longer?

We bought a Thetford plastic toilet for our fifth wheel and made the mistake of buying it without realizing that our current toilet has four bolts and the new one has two bolts (the fifth wheel was at a campground 4 hours away). We are much too far away now to return it so we were wondering if anyone would know if the Dometic floor flange kit that converts four to two would work with a Thetford toilet. I would much rather buy the kit than have to find a four bolt toilet and try to sell the Thetford on the road.0Funny smell from the washing machine2013-03-30T12:45:26Zjeremyhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/11/threadid/3397/scope/postsWe recently installed a new washing machine a few days before heading out for a trip over the weekend.
